There will always be mostly low streak picks due to the nature of the game/prop selection.

Best picks today = Chelsea, No: Neither gets hit

1. Spartak Moscow (Low Streak): Spartak Moscow is -130 at 5dimes to win this match against Amkar. They have won the previous 3 meetings over the last couple of years with Amkar scoring 1 total goal in those 3 matches. This includes 2 road wins by Spartak. Spartak is a much better offensive team than Amkar, which was evident by the stats last year and is already evident this season. Spartak has scored 10 goals this season in 5 matches, while Amkar has score just 4 in 5 matches. Spartak is off to a hot start to the season on the road with 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches. They have 10 goals scored and only 4 conceded in those matches. Russian soccer can be very shady at times, so I’d never give this pick with a lot of confidence.

2. Flipkens (Low Streak): Venus Williams is -120 against Flipkens in the 1st round of the US Open. Williams is WAY past her prime and has had health issues for a while now. She doesn’t have the stamina that she used to and struggles in long matches. She still has a very powerful serve and can be tough to break when her serve is on. Venus hasn’t made much noise anywhere in quite a while now and I don’t see that changing here. What is going for Venus is that she will hold nothing back because she knows her time as a pro is coming to an end sooner than later. Flipkens is having a very solid year and has climbed the rankings. She faced Venus earlier this year and won in 3 sets after losing the 1st set 6-0. Flipkens is a solid player that can’t compete with the elite women’s players, but she’s good enough to beat most. I like Flipkens in 3 sets. 6-4 3-6 6-3.

3. Rays (Low Streak)

4. Chelsea (Low Streak/Confident)

5. No: Man U never leads in 1st half (Low Streak)

6. No Chelsea Goal (subject to change at halftime): Depends on score and flow of match.
